Wales runs its own letting rules. Landlords must register and be licensed with Rent Smart Wales, tenancies are occupation contracts under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, purchases pay Land Transaction Tax rather than stamp duty, and councils can charge a council tax premium on second homes. England's Renters' Rights Act and landlord register don't apply. All 22 Welsh areas ranked.
